“We’re not sure exactly what happened ... we think the child being smaller was a factor, because they both went under the porch,” he said.

Police and rescue crews were called to Isabelle’s home at 3:42 p.m. Isabelle’s body was pulled from beneath the porch by rescue crews and neighbors; CPR was performed. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her grandson was taken to Franklin Regional Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.

Hutchinson said Isabelle was known and loved in her neighborhood.

“I really feel for the family, particularly the young grandson,” he said.

No charges are expected to be filed, police said.

According to her Facebook page, Isabelle went to Winnisquam Regional High School and was a member of the Tilton Northfield United Methodist Church.

On Isabelle’s Facebook page, a relative expressed sorrow: “My heart goes out to Grampa Bob, Robert Isabelle in the loss of his wife today in a tragic accident. We all loved her and will miss her. Remember all the good times and the family memories and remember she was doing something she loved with her grandchildren. Also my thoughts are with the rest of her family and all of her friends. Rest in peace Sherry Isabelle.”

The case is still under investigation by local police, who are asking anyone with information to contact them at 286-8982.
